À propos de cet audio
Years before, they had escaped together from the sinister Tombs of Atuan - she an isolated young priestess, he a powerful wizard. Now she is a farmer's widow, having chosen for herself the simple pleasures of an ordinary life. And he is a broken old man, mourning the powers lost to him not by choice.
A lifetime ago they helped each other at a time of darkness and danger. Now they must join forces again to help another - the physically and emotionally scarred child whose own destiny remains to be revealed.

Histoire15
You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

Poursuivre la série
also very refreshing to see a character who for the previous three books was painted in a very pure light, exposed for also being very flawed and emotionally stunted.
a vital book for anyone looking for an elaboration of characters.

That said, I have some problems with this book:
1. Leguin went into the project with a fixed agenda:
As outlined in the Afterword of this audiobook, the author expressly returned to an essentially completed Fantasy series after twenty years to take down the 'Fantasy Patriarchy' paradigm. The book suffers for it. Elevating female characters is fine - and it's refreshing - but Leguin decides to politicize Earthsea by portraying the male Wizards (both Good and Evil) as misogynists.
2. The book abandons any semblance of "plot":
Instead, LeGuin focusses on the reintroduction of well-known characters Ged and Tenar (in magic-free scenarios) to develop them. Don't get me wrong.. it works. We get to know those characters much better - but nothing of any real importance happens and nothing is really resolved in 'Tehanu'.
3. The introduction of adult topics into a supposed children's series is fairly shocking:
The original Earthsea series was clearly aimed at an audience accustomed to J.R.R. Tolkien's singing dwarves and C.S. Lewis's talking animals. Discussing menstruation and intercourse is straight-up incongruous.
On the good side of the ledger, the world-building is top-notch. We get a close-up look at the more mundane aspects of the Archipelago (Farmers, Shepherds, Soldiers, Sailors, and travelling Merchants play large roles in this narrative). The Earthsea setting is enriched by this book.
I must admit I miss Rob Inglis's interpretation somewhat, but Jenny Sterlin does an impressive job reading this book. There is a noticeable throat-click due to poor sound editing, but Sterlin's voice-acting is unparalleled (a disfigured Therru sounds tortured, for example), and tone/timbre/cadence are noteworthy. Furthermore, her pacing is spot-on - driving a beautifully-written (but arguably ponderous) story relentlessly to it's conclusion. I would listen to Sterlin again any day.
Despite above-average narration, this is a moderately disappointing return to a beloved Fantasy world - a world populated with kings, dragons, witches and wizards - but intentionally steered away from those aspects. LeGuin instead focusses her book on feminist objectives, personality conflict, and the day-to-day lives of the "normal" denizens of the Earthsea Archipelago. You are justified in spending a Credit on this 4.5/10 book if you are enamored with the characters and setting (or plan on continuing the series), but you might be better served if you quit after book Three. I'm quitting here.
Stick to the Original Trilogy
